East West was an American Christian rock band from Irvine, California, United States, who later re-located to Corona.

In the May–June 2003 issue of HM Magazine, Mike Tubbs said, "We have been writing and taking time off to enjoy the more important things in life, our families.

East West was then redefined as a rapcore band with strong melodies, three-part harmonies and heavy extreme metal influences.

East West continued to evolve musically, and recorded Rachel's Silence (released in 1996) and an unreleased studio album in 1997.

East West was always dedicated to creating music that spoke to human struggles and offered encouragement in some capacity.

The band spent years promoting, booking, and playing shows; gaining thousands of local fans and growing the East West family.

A small indie label headquarter in Orange County, California founded by Tim Tabor, formerly of The Prayer Chain (Band).

Sometime in the spring of 2001 the band received an invitation to visit the Epic-Song offices in Malibu, California where they were met by a welcoming bunch of record label folks who were dedicated to helping East West climb to the next level.

East West sold over three hundred records that night along with merch and spent hours talking with fans, both new and old.

Speaking candidly during a closed doors interview, the band agreed that it was most likely "due to record sales numbers being low" at the Triangle Square event.

With less than two days notice, Jon came out to Bobby's house in Corona, California for a play through of the band's current set.

East West was interviewed by Steelroots (Rocket Town Records and performed a number of industry showcases as well as public shows.

This endeavor to Nashville paid off for the band as they were nominated for "Best New Hard Rock Album of the Year" for the Gospel Music Association (GMA).
